The Bee's guide to events, activities, arts and entertainment

June 23, 2009

This week - and heading into the weekend - we found some events worth checking out:

Nordstrom Arden Fair will host a trunk show from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday to preview the exclusive fall Gucci ready-to-wear women's collection. A representative from the fashion line will be in the in-store Gucci boutique (second floor) to answer questions and assist customers. There will be informal modeling. For more information: (916) 646-2400, ext. 1350.

Total Beauty Experience (2929 Arden Way) will host two Jane Iredale makeup classes at 3 and 6 p.m. Thursday at the store. Celebrity artist Brian Lorenz will conduct the demos and teach the classes. Guests will get tips on makeup application to suit their daily routines. Following the demos, guests can actually apply their own makeup - assisted by the Jane Iredale team. Brian's background includes lots of face time with celebrities for the stage and the red carpet. You might have caught him on TV. If so, you know he's got a big personality and is fun to work with. There will be gifts with purchase and refreshments during each class. Reservations are a must because each demo is limited to 20 people. A non-refundable $25 reservation fee is required and can be redeemed in Jane Iredale products on Thursday. For more information: (916) 481-7994.

Reader comments on Sacbee.com are the opinions of the writer, not The Sacramento Bee. If you see an objectionable comment, click the "report abuse" button below it.

What You Should Know About Comments on Sacbee.com

Sacbee.com is happy to provide a forum for reader interaction, discussion, feedback and reaction to our stories. However, we reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments or ban users who can't play nice. (See our full terms of service here.)

Here are some rules of the road:

 Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

 Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

 Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

 Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

 Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

 Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

 Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

 Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

You should also know that The Sacramento Bee does not screen comments before they are posted. You are more likely to see inappropriate comments before our staff does, so we ask that you click the "report abuse" button to submit those comments for moderator review. You also may notify us via email at feedback@sacbee.com. Note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us the profile name of the user who made the comment. Remember, comment moderation is subjective. You may find some material objectionable that we won't and vice versa.

If you submit a comment, the user name of your account will appear along with it. Users cannot remove their own comments once they have submitted them, but you may ask our staff to retract one of your comments by sending an email to feedback@sacbee.com. Again, make sure you note the headline on which the comment is made and tell us your profile name.

On October 14, The Sacramento Bee will temporarily remove commenting from sacbee.com. While we design the upgrade, we encourage you to tell us what you like and don't like about commenting on sacbee.com and other websites. We've heard from hundreds of you already and we're listening. Please continue to add your thoughts and questions here.
We also encourage you to write Letters to the Editor on this and other topics.
